A green grasshopper posing on top of a yellow dahlia in my garden two summers ago. Dahlia in full bloom has traces of red on some petals. Wall and blurred green leaves in backgound.

Yellow petals and a little hitchiker!🦗🌻😊
Blessed #PalmSunday to all who observe. Let us honour everything Palm Sunday stands for: humility, peace, and service.

Collage of snowdrops found at the city hall gardens yesterday, they're a bit late, but always a welcome sight. Four grids of two, three and dozens of them showing their bell-shaped white flowers on delicate stems. The flowers consist of six petal-like segments (tepals) in two circles; three long outer and three shorter inner segments, the latter having green heart- shaped or "V" markings says WoodlandTrust and Wisconsin Horticulture. Narrow linera green leaves in background

Oh little snowdrop... you're the first sign of springtime!

Oh shoot it didn't post earlier -
Sorry!!
#gardenshour

I'm just starting to sort out the garden after moving this time last year and there are loads of random succulents in bits of pots so I predict there are more of these in my future as I gather them all together!!
#gardenshour

Yeah there's always a few gaps to fill by spring, don't be afraid to pack as many plants in as you can. Sedums and semps work well as you know, some echeverias are surprisingly cold hardy and would fit in there very nicely, some of the haworthias too. #GardensHour

Looked fab the following summer but needs a bit of sorting out now - it's had to fend for itself for a couple of years! 🫢
#gardenshour

Thanks #GardensHour! I’ve had tech issues and gremlins on both platforms today, it’s not usually this difficult!

But you’re all wonderful at chatting and sharing each others tips, ideas and successes, so I’m very grateful!

We’ll wave goodbye to March next week with a look back at your favourites.

🌱And to continue the #GardensHour side theme of pots and planters, Part 2 showing bold warm season & Autumn choices. Each client is unique; some will specify colors to include or avoid - or must-haves by specific cultivar. A continual collaboration, all are a pleasure to work with!

Nice selection of plants in there 😀

#GardensHour

🌱Good evening all at #GardensHour - though weather still unsettled & a bit early for flowering outdoor planters here in Chicagoland, here are some past efforts at client sites - Part 1 in cool, bright colors.😃

A broken terracotta pot filled with succulents.

Oooh I have one of those, too. This was when I planted it October 21. Looks a bit more 'lived in' now! 🌱

Hopefully it all starts to wake up soon! 🤞 #GardensHour

Yay! I completely forgot to photograph mine. It’s such an exciting moment in the garden #GardensHour

Only ten minutes left #GardensHour

Olives are very long lived trees. Most of these older ones that we can buy here, are from orchards where they have become old and less productive.

#GardensHour

Poppy anemone are super plants, especially at this time of year. Lots of bright open blooms which the pollinators can access easily 🌱 #GardensHour

Tiny fig balls developing on a plant

I'm in and out!

Not much to report outside. Intermittent snow, melting, but not much emerging.

Inside, Mom has figlets!
